Symptoms

In Microsoft Antigen, when you configure an SMTP Scan Job to perform Spam Scanning, Content Filtering, or Keyword Filtering, the size of the incoming SMTP messages may increase during the scanning process. This could result in increased hard disk usage when the messages are delivered to the Exchange Information Store or when Antigen archives the messages.

Resolution

To resolve this problem in Antigen 8.0, install the updated Mimenavigator.dll file. To obtain this update, contact Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS). For information about how to contact CSS, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

After you receive the update, apply it to the computer that is running Antigen. To do this, follow these steps:

Exit the Antigen administrative console.

Stop all Antigen and Exchange services.

In Windows Explorer, locate and open the following folder:

%Program Files%\Sybari Software\Antigen for Exchange

In the right pane, right-click MIMENavigator.dll, and then click Rename.

Type MIMENavigator.sr3, and then press ENTER.

Copy the downloaded MimeNavigator.dll file to the current folder.

Restart Antigen and Exchange services.
